PowerPole size used by Flex

edited March 2021 in FLEX-6000 Signature Series

Was putting together a new power cord for my Flex, and noticed that the PowerPoles come in three sizes. 15, 30, and 45 AMP. I was going to use the silver 45 Amp with 10 gauge wire but I thought I better see if there is any problem with this larger size?

I have a Flex 6300 if that makes a difference

    According to Sec. 7.1 of the 6400M/6600M user guide, “the Anderson Powerpole connector contains 45 Amp pins to minimize voltage drop during transmit.” I am guessing the 6300 is the same.

    The plastic part is the same for all 3 sizes. The only difference is the socket on the wiring end to accommodate different wire sizes, with 45 amp accommodating the largest wire.
